What should I know about security-rated roller garage doors in Chester-le-Street?
- Think about what the garage connects to, because an integral garage with a door into the house may need more protection than a detached store.
- Consider battery backup if the garage is your main way in, so the door keeps working for a limited number of cycles in a power cut.
- Look at the lintel and the brickwork around the opening, as a rated door relies on sound masonry for its fixings.
- Ask to see the certificate for the exact door model in your quote, and check that the model name and rating match.

Security-rated roller garage doors in Chester-le-Street: questions
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Chester-le-Street?
Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.
Do you charge more for Chester-le-Street than other towns in County Durham?
No. Guide prices are the same for Chester-le-Street as for anywhere else we cover in County Durham. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Chester-le-Street?
Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Chester-le-Street. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Chester-le-Street?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.
Is a higher LPS 1175 rating always better for a house?
A higher rating means the door resisted a more serious attack for longer in testing, but that doesn't make it the right choice for every home. Think about what the garage connects to, what's stored inside and what your insurer asks for. We'll explain the ratings available on the models we can supply and show you each certificate, so you can decide.
Can my existing roller door be upgraded to a security rating?
No. A rating applies to a complete door model as the manufacturer had it tested, so adding locks or parts to an existing door doesn't make it rated. If you want a certificated door, it has to be a new door of a rated model. Some changes still help, such as recoding lost remotes on a visit that is priced and agreed before we come out.
